we’re having some family over for dinner in a couple weeks and i’m having trouble trying to pull together a menu… would love some suggestions!

out of four people, one person is a vegetarian who will eat anything as long as it doesn’t have meat which is normally pretty easy to work around, but harder given that one of the folks is a very picky eater. from what i can tell, he generally doesn’t eat most fish or most pork, doesn’t eat a ton of vegetables, doesn’t like sharp cheeses, prefers food bland, dislikes most “exotic” spices. foods i’ve seen him enjoy are spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, and mashed potatoes and lightly salted chicken breast.

given all this, do folks have any suggestions? i’m having an especially hard time because i cook a lot of asian food and basically most asian spices are off the table. italian might be okay though. thanks!

it's crunchy, and it's so much more convenient than peeling it off every time...

as an omnivore dating a vegetarian who doesn't eat meat for ethical reasons i am so, so excited!!!!

fish heads... they're just so much cheaper than the rest of the fish and delicious in the air fryer. also i'll eat the tails on shrimp.

if you take a step back: do you... like what you're studying or working on? i'm not saying that you have to love it, but if you're having a hard time self-motivating on a particular subject, you might just not like it very much. i personally always figured programming was something i'd like and be good at given my specific spicy brain but turns out it wasn't, so i pivoted into programming adjacent spaces (like the other poster mentioned) instead. i think i dropped out of like two different boot camps before i figured that... well, i just didn't like it, it it didn't motivate me, and it wasn't for me.

often, these programming-adjacent spaces (eg: cybersecurity, system administration, integration management, salesforce admin) have problem solving with more fixed parameters than programming - like looking at a word problem instead of a blank page - and could work better for you.

salami chips?? i've never even considered this concept, fascinating... also i have a super bizarre pregnancy appetite going on right now so if it's not a triple processed carbohydrate i'm considering it a huge health win haha

i only picked up 3 on a whim, haven't played the rest, but based on the vids i've seen of 2 it does seem like more of the same.

my favorite thing is places that have a 20% gratuity automatically added to every bill to compensate employees fairly (i am begrudgingly accepting of this even though it should really just be on the menu price) but then have an extra line for tip on top of that. and sometimes that extra tip line calculates a tip for you based off of the already added 20% gratuity. insane.

happy first comment and thanks for the idea!! i love wings and definitely need to eat more carrots so def gonna give this a try.

 

hello internet pals! i am posting in the hopes that folks have some good lazy (but perhaps still somewhat healthy?) air fryer or microwave meal / snack recipes to share because i’ve fallen into a bit of a cooking rut lately and easy new recipes would definitely help inspire me.

korean egg rice: crack an egg into a bowl of rice and mix with sesame oil and soy sauce, microwave for 2 min, sprinkle some furikake on top if you’ve got it and you’ve got a solid comfort food in like 5 mins tops
